This is one that I was inspired to write when I was trying to jog around our driveway, for exercise. But my brain was energized to exercise its poetry powers by the wind that kept sweeping over our ridge top. 🙂 Enjoy and critique as always!
Free with the Wind
The air about me is alive
There’s joy inside none could describe
It’s scented with grace and steeped in freedomIt is just one of those days
When Creation breathes out Your praise
The wind whelms me in its voice
Your joy and life fills me. I’ve no choiceMy hair is twirling ’round my face
The song inside swells . My soul lacks the space.
My lips now burst aloud with song
My feet can’t help but start dancing alongI just have to dance and sing
The hills with a harmony ring
My heart throbs with a thrill
I can’t remain standing still
I just dance free with the windOnce I was dying in my sin
Once I couldn’t have danced with the wind
Now there’s a hope and joy I can’t keep withinSince Jesus set this poor soul free
Since He gave life a new purity
There is purpose and pleasure in what He madeSo I can smile and can sing.
I’ll trust in You. You made everything.It is just one of those days
When Creation breathes out Your praise
The wind whelms me in its voice
Your joy and life fills me. I’ve no choiceMy lips now burst aloud with song
My feet can’t help but start dancing alongI just have to dance and sing
The hills with a harmony ring
My heart throbs with a thrill
I can’t remain standing still
I just dance free with the windWhen I see Your hand in creation
When I know freedom’s declaration
My soul explodes in freedom’s celebrationMy lungs fill with the air’s freshness
My eyes sparkle with the brightness
This liberty of life exhilarates me.
